Chapter 71

TVS 42: A Clash with the Fallen Clan
Alas Crinamortes' POV
What a fool. Did Xavierre think I didn't know what he was doing spying on me? He even built a small hideout near my base. I just happened to pretend not noticing it because I had other plans.
"Dad, you take care of it. I'll just fetch Fire. Let Xavierre kill all our troops jan. I don't care about them. I just need one ace to crush Xavierre." I left my dad chuckling when he heard about crushing Xavierre.
.........
"Hand it over." I said, Fire is already here. And as discussed, he was alone.
"What hand it over-hand it over?" She asked, brows are furrowed.
"Don't get up early. You're warm-blooded. So I know if you're carrying cold metal under your clothes. Will you surrender it, or do you want me to get rid of that?"
"H-No need." He handed me a knife, guns and ammos, grenades and last a bow and an arrow. I was even hurt by the arrow he handed me. Tss. Her black dress is still very close yet she managed to hide these weapons? Unbelievable!
I reached for her waist but she avoided it. "What will you do?!"
"Are you going to fall? We're going to Russia, I'll hold you tight so you don't fall when we fly. Do you want to die? Huh?" Tss. I think he still intends to be ahead of Xavierre.
"Fine." She replied, it looks like I'm still reluctant to touch her waist! Aba!
"Hold on tight."
"Wait! Are you Frost? Are you really holding them? Maybe you're just deceiving me?"
Aba, safe ah. "I have proofs, now look." I handed her my phone with pictures of them. It's as easy as cupcake to abduct those slayers. They are also human and they have their limits. I wonder how did this woman turned into a human. Fortunately he was human, so I could easily get him too. Just by threatening her with her friends give up right away!
"How dare you!" With that, I grabbed my phone and her waist then we flew further to Russia. I don't want to waste time because maybe by now my staff is exhausted there. Even my dad could be in danger any minute now.
"So if you don't comply, I'll kill Xavierre too if Frost isn't enough." While in the air, I can feel her anger.
"Don't try to. Unless you want to die." I was even threatened. Another class as well.
"Well, by now my people are gone there. But I have one more, just a signal, he can pierce Xavierre's heart with just a single arrow ... and ... kaboom! Good bye beloved! Hahaha!"
"Shut up! I won't let you do that!"
"Behave. Just one call, everything can change. So better follow my orders." Effective huh?
...........
Just as I thought when we arrived, Dad and I were already low on staff. Xavierre is strangling my father to death, that's why I shouted. We're 10 meters away from each other.
"I'm with Fire, don't do silly moves. Release my father!" In an instant he behave like a puppy. I can feel their stares were like daggers being thrown at me. Of course, I hold who will be their queen.

How could this happen? I told Nay Maria to take care of Fire once I came back, b-but why? Oh, I knew it. She didn't trust me all.
None of this would happen if she do, right? As much as possible I wanted to drag her out and stop her from getting involved yet this is what happens. I guess, Alas threatened her.
I saw them walking slowly to me. And when she get to pass through me, Fire stopped. "Take care of yourself, don't bother me anymore."
Those cold words pierced my heart. But knowing Fire, I know she has reasons. And I have to believe in it even though I don't know it yet. I'm almost successful in killing the Crinamortes, but I failed just because of timing.
"And don't you dare follow me."
"Fire!"
"Ms. Fire!"
"Don't--"
He ignored Tanj calling him. She left us hanging with those words. He went with Alas.
Dmitri Damienne's POV
That kid is my daughter? Nonsense! I rushed my way to Melissa, my younger sister. I choked him as soon as I could find him. But that didn't seem to affect him. I saw Gydeon with her, so he is a traitor?
"You answer! Is Fire Vallez my son ?!" I yelled. It's been a long time since my good brother knew about him yet he didn't tell me! I removed my stranglehold on his neck.
"Yes, Kuya. Fire is your daughter with Stellara."
My knees are weak. For 200 plus years of my life, yearning for my family, I just found out that I have another child?
"Antonio took Stellara and Vishnyr because he's obsessed with her! And you, brother! You went blind there! It's a good thing Romulus saved him! You mistakenly took your mother and father!"
"What ?! Antonio did it ?! Good thing I killed him already!" Tears started to run down in my face.
"So you can't blame me for why I hid them! Your greed for power and throne! That's what ruined you! Add that Antonio! You believed in him more than your own sister! So it's only right that you suffered from the consequences. " Gydeon left and left me with Melissa.
"Come with me, brother." I followed her and reached the basement. Is there another room hidden here?
S-Stellara?
My wife! My wife is here! "What happened to her? Why is she like that?" Stellara is glowing with blue bright aura. What happened with you love?
"In exchange for Fire's humanity is her deep slumber. She's like that for 24 years." Melissa explained.
"But why would she do that?"
"He was afraid that you would use your children to claim the throne. He knew, that there's a possibility that you will do that so we preceded you. We hid Vishnyr from you as well as Fire. Yet you tried to use her! No matter what we do secretly, it will happen and it will happen! "
I don't care about what she is saying right now. The important thing ... Stellara is here. We have children which means we could be family again. I want everything to be back ...
"Oh no! Brother! Stellara's glow is fading! It only means one thing!"
"What is it?"
"Fire! Fire is dying!"
